^You are correct, it is not a sell out where the general public has bought all tickets and no more are permitted in, the park has bene rented out by a private group who gives out tickets to the members of that group. Pride Night does not have any long lines at all. I worked it last year and there were no lines at all however Nickelodeon Universe is not open, except for 1 or 2 rides I think. Have a great time Reclaimer.

They are also only using one light from the ground as well as only a few in the tower itself, not the whole elaborate set up Nights of Fire used. Last year at Fearfest as well they had special tower lighting. I have a picture somewhere, ill try to dig it up.

For what? Pictures they didnt take, just happened to come across?

Best of luck PKI punk! From the looks of teh cgi video will this coaster be using teh millenium flyer trains like on Kentucky Rumbler? -
Just wait and see. Yep, wait and see in future years, however not next year, and no acer fan boy such as , well we wont name him but he likes to run his mouth, can tell you other wise. If a major restauraunt was coming, they would be wanting to promote it already.

^Oh I would absolutely LOVE having a T.G.I. Fridays in Kings Island, however the rumor has no merit, maybe likely in future, but not next year.

cough no source cough.

^I agree woofer, you can go to a mall for free, why would you pay to go to an amusement park then get that mall feeling again, especialyl when festhaus already has somewhat of that feel to it. I would love for a sit down restaurant to come to KI. It was so nice when I went to CP and looked at the map and saw the choices I had of sit down restauraunts.

The park had a policy in place, they were very genrous to give him a raincheck when they are not obligated to give him anything at all. He took the risk of park closure when he decided to go to the park. The park was generous to him and went above and beyond what they usually do. Sure, it may not be what HE wanted, but its better than nothing. There are plenty of other ways to sell the tickets, he could've done it online, talked to co-workers, neighbors, etc. He had his daughter do it for him on park property when they clearly as most private businesses do, have a no solicitation rule, he shouldnt have broken that rule or tried to. CF has done some pretty un-friendly things to guests in the past but I'm glad they stood firm on this one and didnt treat him differently than the other guests just because he was whining. They were nicer than needed but he still wanted more, dont bite the hand that feeds. On the other hand, I remember a few times when PKI just caved in to guests because they were way too afraid of a little bad publicity. Last year when some height requirements changed one lady complained that her kids werent tall enough to ride what they rode last year and wanted refunds on all her passes. I remember even as teh park was winding down for the closure of the 2004 season hearing about the height requirement changes that would soon be coming. The fact that this lady did not make any attempt to research the product before she bought it is her problem but instead, since she was ignorant, PKI sent a spokesperson on local news to present her with 8 free season passes for her and her extended family. What a joke.

RENEGADE!

^I'm pretty sure they dont need an ok from styx since its not a styx themed ride and rengade is a word in the english language. I dont think styx can copyright that or else we'd have to pay to say the word renegade, there are also many other songs and books called renegade that were around before styx's song. This is really cool and exciting news the only down side is that in all the CF parks I've been too (excluding the newly aquired paramount parks) I've never had a good ride on one of their wooden coasters. Mean Streak is awful, Blue streak was fun but still way too rough, the vilian and raging wolf bobs are horribly maintained and rough and I hear thunderhawk at Dorney is a very uncomfortable ride. Hats off to Cedar Fair for purchasing a new woody, but no hats off to them for maintaining their other ones. -
^Did they say anything?

Fright by Night, Fun by Day
Gordon Bombay replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
^The scare zones only have charecters that will scare you during fearfest, during fearfest there is limited rides operation so at night when the park turns things over to fearfest you should be there for fearfest, not the normal park atmosphere. -

I remember like the first year they did fearfest and the kid version, cant remember if they called it nick or treat back then or not. I dont remember how old I was but I remember taking my little sister around the halloween events and her crying along with a bunch of other kids everywhere because the thing was so bad. I remember countless kids going to get candy from an employee handing out but the employee would tell the kids they needed some sort of map that had to be colored and you got the map when you bought a fun pack or something, I remember screaming parents, hay, and smashed pumpkins everywhere. I'm glad to see the event has turned around to be better for kids. I remember working last year in the rides department when Id watch the kids they always seemed to have a blast.
